Clerodendrum

Clerodendrum Bungei variegado






Giant Salvia, Japanese Glorybower, Red Glorybower
Clerodendrum japonicum, C. squamatum





Clerodendrum speciosissimum , or Glorybower as it is sometimes known, is probably my favorite out of the many species of Clerodendrum in cultivation. The flowers are a brilliant red and cover the plant for months at a time. Butterflies love this plant, and Swallowtails in particular can usually be seen hovering around the plant or feeding from the red flowers. Hummingbirds also find the blooms attractive. The leaves are large and heart-shaped, making for a nice tropical foliage effect.
Clerodendrum speciosissimum is native to tropical Africa.
